If you are running this box as a fileserver only (ie, no interactive accounts), you may want to look at adding the SUIDDIR option to your kernel config. (Be sure to look over the comments in LINT first!) The only other thing I can think of to do is to modify FTP to do what you want. This actually isn't as hard as you might think. > Or does anyone have a suggestion as to a better method of > implementing these drop boxes than what I'm currently doing? Are you sure that you want outsiders to be able to anonymously fill individual users' quotas?
